Why Sixty Symbols?

When we launched this project in 2009, the initial plan was to make 60 videos.

Each would be loosely based on a symbol... for example our first video about the Speed of Light would centre on "c".

Sixty Symbosl felt like nice alliteration.

We gradually drifted away from the symbols theme... and we've made many more than 60 videos!

But the name remains.

Below is what the website looked like when we retired it in 2023.... You can follow all the new videos via our YouTube channel.
